India needs to take daughters seriously, says Babul Supriyo

Singer turned politician Babul Supriyo said that it will be great if India takes its daughters seriously and give attention towards creating opportunities for them.

The singer, who is now the Minister of State for Urban Development, and for Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation, under the Government of India, said, "India needs to take its daughters seriously. Even now in remote area people don't educate their daughters. Driven by the invigorating leadership of our Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is trying to do everything possible in benefit of girl child, there will soon come a time when we will see a lot of improvement in this particular section."

The 44-year-old singer along with his 16 year old daughter Sharmilee Supriyo will bring a euphonious single 'I wanna fly' which is dedicated towards celebrating United Nation's International day of the girl child that is earmarked for October 11 every year. By A.
